QUALCOMM Incorporated

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Financial Statement Preparation. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by QUALCOMM Incorporated (collectivelywith its subsidiaries, the Company or QUALCOMM), without audit, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all informationand footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 26, 2010 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date but may notinclude all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending onthe last Sunday in September. The three-month and six-month periods ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010 included 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments, which are only normal and recurring, necessaryfor a fair statement of results of operations, financial position and cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with theconsolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2010. Operating results for interim periodsare not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanyingnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to QUALCOMM by the weighted-average number ofcommon shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to QUALCOMM by thecombination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under the Company's share-based compensation plans and shares subject to written putoptions, and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exerciseprice of an award, if any, the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the estimated tax benefits that would berecorded in paid-in capital, if any, when an award is settled are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period. The incremental dilutive common shareequivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method, for the three months and six months ended March 27, 2011 were 34,955,000 and 30,231,000, respectively. Theincremental dilutive common share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method, for the three months and six months ended March 28, 2010 were 16,227,000 and17,935,000, respectively.

Employee stock options to purchase approximately 5,881,000 and 33,336,000 shares of common stock during the three months and six months ended March 27, 2011,respectively, and employee stock options to purchase approximately 151,396,000 and 136,623,000 shares of common stock during the three months and six months endedMarch 28, 2010, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, 78,000 and60,000 shares of other common stock equivalents during the three months and six months ended March 27, 2011, respectively, and 3,900 and 184,000 shares of other commonstock equivalents during the three months and six months ended March 28, 2010, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings percommon share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company recorded $38 million in share-based compensation expense during both of the six months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, related to share-basedawards granted during those periods. In addition, for the six months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, $132 million and $31 million, respectively, were reclassified toreduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing activities to reflect the incremental tax benefit from stock optionsexercised in those periods.

At March 27, 2011, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock units granted prior to that date were $833 million and$395 million, respectively, which are each expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years. Net share-based awards, after forfeitures and cancellations,granted during the six months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010 represented 0.3% and 1.1%, respectively, of outstanding shares as of the

beginning of each fiscal period. Total share-based awards granted during the six months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010 represented 0.5% and 1.4%, respectively, ofoutstanding shares as of the end of each fiscal period.

Note 2 — Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market forthe asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy forinputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs beused when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained fromsources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing theasset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

• Level 1 includes financial instruments for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets.

• Level 2 includes financial instruments for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument.

• Level 3 includes financial instruments for which fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including theCompany’s own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchyclassification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 27, 2011 (in millions):

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 TotalAssets Cash equivalents $ 2,061 $ 3,732 $ — $ 5,793 Marketable securities

U.S. Treasury securities and government-related securities 205 347 — 552 Corporate bonds and notes — 5,751 — 5,751 Mortgage- and asset-backed securities — 624 6 630 Auction rate securities — — 125 125 Non-investment-grade debt securities — 3,527 11 3,538 Common and preferred stock 1,189 736 — 1,925 Equity mutual and exchange-traded funds 1,003 — — 1,003 Debt mutual funds 1,730 485 — 2,215

Total liabilities measured at fair value$ 163 $ 17 $ 8 $ 188

______________________________(1) Primarily comprised of the Company’s deferred compensation plan liability and related assets which are invested in mutual funds.

Marketable Securities. With the exception of auction rate securities, the Company obtains pricing information from quoted market prices, pricing vendors or quotes frombrokers/dealers. The Company conducts reviews of its primary pricing vendors

Page 10: WebFilings | EDGAR view · Indicate by check mark whether the registrant has submitted electronically and posted on its corporate Web site, if any, every Interactive Data File required

QUALCOMM IncorporatedNOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

to determine whether the inputs used in the vendor's pricing processes are deemed to be observable.

The fair value of other government-related securities and investment- and non-investment-grade corporate bonds and notes is generally determined using standardobservable inputs, including matrix pricing or reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids and/oroffers.

The fair value of debt mutual funds is determined based on published net asset values. The Company assesses the daily frequency and size of transactions at published netasset values to determine whether fair value is based on observable or unobservable inputs.

The fair value of mortgage- and asset-backed securities is derived from the use of matrix pricing or cash flow pricing models in which inputs are observable, includingcontractual terms, maturity, prepayment speeds, credit rating and securitization structure, to determine the timing and amount of future cash flows. Certain mortgage- and asset-backed securities, principally those that are rated below AAA, require use of significant unobservable inputs to estimate fair value, such as default likelihood, recovery ratesand prepayment speed.

The fair value of auction rate securities is estimated by the Company using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates transaction details such as contractual terms,maturity and timing and amount of future cash flows, as well as assumptions related to liquidity and credit valuation adjustments of market participants. Though the vastmajority of the securities held by the Company are pools of student loans guaranteed by the U.S. government, prepayment speeds and illiquidity discounts are consideredsignificant unobservable inputs. Therefore, auction rate securities are included in Level 3.

Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments include foreign currency option and forward contracts to manage foreign exchange risk for certain foreign currencytransactions and certain balances denominated in a foreign currency. Derivative instruments are valued using standard calculations/models that are primarily based onobservable inputs, including foreign currency exchange rates, volatilities and interest rates. Therefore, derivative instruments are included in Level 2.

Other Liabilities. Other liabilities include put rights held by third parties representing interests in certain of the Company's subsidiaries (Note 7). These put rights arevalued using standard models that are primarily based on unobservable inputs, including volatilities. Therefore, these put rights are included in Level 3.

Activity between Levels of the Fair Value Hierarchy. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended March 27, 2011 orMarch 28, 2010. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to theoverall fair value measurement. The following table includes the activity for marketable securities and other liabilities classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy (inmillions):

Settlements (5 ) (10 )Transfers into Level 3 — 4

Ending balance of Level 3 $ 176 $ 27

The Company's policy is to recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal month in which the actual event or change incircumstances that caused the transfer occurs. Transfers into Level 3 during the six months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010 primarily consisted of debt securitieswith significant inputs that became unobservable as a result of an increased likelihood of a shortfall in contractual cash flows or a significant downgrade in the credit ratings.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements. The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include cost- and equity-methodinvestments when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition or in a nonmonetary exchange, and property,plant and equipment and intangible assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. During the six months ended March 27,2011, goodwill with a carrying amount of $154 million was written down to its implied fair value of $40 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $114 million (Note 11).The implied fair value was based on significant unobservable inputs, and as a result, the fair value measurement was classified as Level 3. During the six months ended March27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, the Company did not have any other significant assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequentto initial recognition.

The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 17% for fiscal 2011, compared to the 20% effective income tax rate for fiscal 2010. Duringthe first quarter of fiscal 2011, the United States government extended the federal research and development tax credit to include qualified research expenditures paid orincurred after December 31, 2009 and before January 1, 2012. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $32 million related to fiscal 2010 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 for theretroactive extension of this credit. The annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 included tax expense of approximately $137 million that arose because certain deferred revenuewas taxable in fiscal 2010, but the resulting deferred tax asset will reverse in future years when the Company's state tax rate will be lower as a result of California tax legislation

enacted in 2009.

The estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 of 17% is less than the United States federal statutory rate primarily due to benefits of approximately 21% related toforeign earnings taxed at less than the United States federal rate and benefits of approximately 2% related to the research and development tax credit, partially offset by statetaxes of approximately 5%. The prior fiscal year rate was lower than the United States federal statutory rate primarily due to benefits related to foreign earnings taxed at lessthan the United States federal rate, partially offset by state taxes and tax expense related to the valuation of deferred tax assets to reflect changes in California law.

Balance at March 27, 2011 $ 24,967 $ 34 $ 25,001

Noncontrolling Interests. In June 2010, the Company won a 20 MHz slot of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum in four telecom circles in India as a result of thecompletion of the BWA spectrum auction. The Company expects that licenses to operate wireless networks on this spectrum will be assigned to the Company in the thirdquarter of fiscal 2011 with an initial license period of 20 years. At March 27, 2011 and September 26, 2010, the Company had a $1.1 billion advance payment included innoncurrent other assets related to this spectrum. The Company will amortize the spectrum licenses over the remaining license period commencing upon the commercial launchof wireless services in India, which is expected to occur within five years of the assignment date. The Company’s goal is to attract one or more operator partners into a venture(or ventures) for construction of an LTE network in compliance with the Indian government’s rollout requirement for the BWA spectrum and then to exit the venture(s). Themanner and timing of such exit will be dependent upon a number of factors, such as market conditions and regulatory considerations, among others.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, in connection with the India BWA spectrum purchase, certain of the Company's subsidiaries in India issued noncontrollinginterests to two third-party Indian investors for $62 million, such that the Company now holds a 74% interest in each of those subsidiaries, the maximum interest permittedunder applicable Indian Foreign Direct Investment regulations. In addition, the third parties representing the noncontrolling interests in the subsidiaries hold put rights thatprovide them with options to sell their ownership interests in the subsidiaries to QUALCOMM Incorporated or its nominee (subject to applicable regulatory approvals) afterJuly 29, 2014, or earlier if certain events occur, at a price equal to their original capital contribution. The aggregate fair value of these put rights, which are accounted for asfreestanding financial instruments classified in other liabilities, was $8 million at March 27, 2011.

Stock Repurchase Program. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three and six months ended March 27, 2011. During the three and six months endedMarch 28, 2010, the Company repurchased and retired 43,871,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $1.7 billion. At March 27, 2011, approximately $1.7 billionremained authorized for repurchase under the Company’s stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date.

Dividends. On March 8, 2011 the Company announced an increase in its quarterly cash dividend per share of common stock from $0.19 to $0.215, which is effective fordividends payable after March 25, 2011. On April 7, 2011, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.215 per share on the Company’s common stock, payable on June 24,2011 to stockholders of record as of May 27, 2011. During the six months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, dividends charged to retained

Litigation. Tessera, Inc. v. QUALCOMM Incorporated: On April 17, 2007, Tessera filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the EasternDivision of Texas and a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 against the Company andother companies, alleging infringement of two patents. The District Court action is stayed pending resolution of the ITC proceeding, including all appeals. On May 20, 2009, theITC issued a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order, both of which were terminated when the patents expired on September 24, 2010. During the period of theexclusion order, the Company shifted supply of accused chips for the United States market to a licensed supplier of Tessera, and the Company continued to supply the UnitedStates market without interruption. On December 21, 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision affirming the ITC’s orders, and on March 29,2011, it declined to reconsider that decision. The Company may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Once the stay is lifted, Tessera may continue to seek back damages in thedistrict court, but it may not seek injunctive relief due to the expiration of the patents.

Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) Complaint: On January 4, 2010, the KFTC issued a written decision, finding that the Company had violated South Korean law byoffering certain discounts and rebates for purchases of its CDMA chips and for including in certain agreements language requiring the continued payment of royalties after alllicensed patents have expired. The KFTC levied a fine, which the Company paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company is appealing that decision in the Koreancourts.

Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) Complaint: The JFTC received unspecified complaints alleging that the Company’s business practices are, in some way, a violationof Japanese law. On September 29, 2009, the JFTC issued a cease and desist order concluding that the Company’s Japanese licensees were forced to cross-license patents to theCompany on a royalty-free basis and were forced to accept a provision under which they agreed not to assert their essential patents against the Company’s other licensees whomade a similar commitment in their license agreements with the Company. The cease and desist order seeks to require the Company to modify its existing license agreementswith Japanese companies to eliminate these provisions while preserving the license of the Company’s patents to those companies. The Company disagrees with the conclusionsthat it forced its Japanese licensees to agree to any provision in the parties’ agreements and that those provisions violate the Japanese Antimonopoly Act. The Company hasinvoked its right under Japanese law to an administrative hearing before the JFTC. In February 2010, the Tokyo High Court granted the Company’s motion and issued a stay ofthe cease and desist order pending the administrative hearing before the JFTC. The JFTC has had seven hearing days to date, with an additional hearing day scheduled on April26, 2011, and additional hearing days yet to be scheduled.

Icera Complaint to the European Commission: On June 7, 2010, the European Commission (the Commission) notified and provided the Company with a redacted copy of acomplaint filed with the Commission by Icera, Inc. alleging that the Company has engaged in anticompetitive activity. The Company has been asked by the Commission tosubmit a preliminary response to the portions of the Complaint disclosed to it, and the Company submitted its response in July 2010. The Company will cooperate fully with theCommission.

Panasonic Arbitration: QUALCOMM and Panasonic Mobile Communications Co. Ltd. (Panasonic) have settled their dispute resulting in the dismissal of the arbitrationthat was previously filed by Panasonic on August 5, 2009 and amended on January 31, 2010, and as a result of the settlement, the Company is no longer deferring royaltyrevenue reported by Panasonic. Panasonic had alleged, among other things, that it did not owe royalties, or owed less royalties, to QUALCOMM on its WCDMA subscriberdevices sold on or after December 21, 2008, that the Company breached the license agreement between the parties as well as certain commitments to standards settingorganizations, and that the Company violated the Japanese Antimonopoly Act. The arbitration had been proceeding in phases. In the first phase of the arbitration, the arbitratorrejected Panasonic’s claims that the Company breached the license agreement.

Formal Order of Private Investigation: On September 8, 2010, the Company was notified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Los Angeles Regional office(SEC) of a formal order of private investigation. The Company understands that the

(Unaudited)

investigation arose from a “whistleblower’s” allegations made in December 2009 to the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and to the SEC. The auditcommittee completed an internal review with the assistance of independent counsel and independent forensic accountants. This internal review into the allegations and relatedaccounting practices did not identify any errors in the Company's financial statements. The Company continues to cooperate with the SEC’s ongoing investigation.

Other: The Company has been named, along with many other manufacturers of wireless phones, wireless operators and industry-related organizations, as a defendant inpurported class action lawsuits, and individually filed actions pending in federal court in Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. superior court, seeking monetary damages arisingout of its sale of cellular phones.

While there can be no assurance of favorable outcomes, the Company believes the claims made by other parties in the foregoing matters are without merit and willvigorously defend the actions. The Company has not recorded any accrual for contingent liabilities associated with the legal proceedings described above based on theCompany’s belief that liabilities, while possible, are not probable. Further, any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is engaged innumerous other legal actions not described above arising in the ordinary course of its business and, while there can be no assurance, believes that the ultimate outcome of theseactions will not have a material adverse effect on its operating results, liquidity or financial position.

Litigation Settlement, Patent License and Other Related Items. On April 26, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement and Patent License and Non-Assert Agreementwith Broadcom. The Company agreed to pay Broadcom $891 million, of which $502 million was paid through March 27, 2011, and the remainder will be paid ratably throughApril 2013. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $783 million related to this agreement during fiscal 2009. At March 27, 2011, the carrying value of the liability was $376million, which also approximated the fair value of the contractual liability net of imputed interest.

Loans Payable Related to India Spectrum Acquisition. In June 2010, in connection with the India BWA spectrum purchase, certain of the Company's subsidiaries in Indiaentered into a loan agreement with multiple lenders that was denominated in Indian rupees. The loan had a fixed interest rate of 6.75% per year with interest payments duemonthly and was payable in full in December 2010. On December 13, 2010, the loan was refinanced with new loan agreements that bear interest at an annual rate based on thehighest rate among the bank lenders, which is reset quarterly, plus 0.25% (9.25% at March 27, 2011) with interest payments due monthly. The new loans are due and payable infull in December 2012. However, each lender has the right to demand prepayment of its portion of the outstanding loans on December 15, 2011 subject to sufficient priorwritten notice. As a result, the loans are classified as a component of current liabilities. The loans can be prepaid without penalty on certain dates and are guaranteed byQUALCOMM Incorporated and one of its subsidiaries. The loan agreements contain standard covenants, which, among other things, limit actions by the subsidiaries that areparty to the loan agreements, including the incurrence of loans and equity investments, disposition of assets, mergers and consolidations and other matters customarily restrictedin such agreements. At March 27, 2011, the aggregate carrying value of the loans was $1.1 billion, which approximated fair value.

Indemnifications. In general, the Company does not agree to indemnify its customers and licensees for losses sustained from infringement of third-party intellectualproperty. However, the Company is contingently liable under certain product sales, services, license and other agreements to indemnify certain customers against certain typesof liability and/or damages arising from qualifying claims of patent infringement by products or services sold or provided by the Company. The Company’s obligations underthese agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by theCompany. These indemnification arrangements are not initially measured and recognized at fair value because they are deemed to be similar to product warranties in that theyrelate to claims and/or other actions that could impair the ability of the Company’s direct or indirect customers to use the Company’s products or services. Accordingly, theCompany records liabilities resulting from the arrangements when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Reimbursements under indemnification arrangementshave not been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has not recorded any accrual for contingent liabilities at March 27, 2011 associatedwith these indemnification arrangements, other than negligible amounts for reimbursement of legal costs, based on the Company’s belief that additional liabilities, whilepossible, are not probable. Further, any possible range of loss cannot be estimated at this time.

Purchase Obligations. The Company has agreements with suppliers and other parties to purchase inventory, other goods and services and long-lived assets. Noncancelableobligations under these agreements at March 27, 2011 for the remainder of fiscal 2011 and for each of the subsequent four years from fiscal 2012 through 2015 wereapproximately $1.2 billion, $236 million, $29 million, $4 million and $33 million, respectively, and $24 million thereafter. Of these amounts, for the remainder

of fiscal 2011 and for fiscal 2012, commitments to purchase integrated circuit product inventories comprised $1.0 billion and $52 million, respectively.

Leases. The future minimum lease payments for all capital leases and operating leases at March 27, 2011 were as follows (in millions):

The Company leases certain of its land, facilities and equipment under noncancelable operating leases, with terms ranging from less than one year to 35 years and withprovisions in certain leases for cost-of-living increases. The Company leases certain property under capital lease agreements, primarily related to cell site leases that have aninitial term of five to seven years with renewal options of up to five additional renewal periods. In determining the capital lease classification for the cell site leases uponcommencement of each lease, the Company included all renewal options. As a result of the restructuring plan (Note 10), the Company does not intend to renew its existing sitecapital leases. As of March 27, 2011, the Company expects to write off $182 million of cell site capital lease assets (which are included in buildings and improvements inproperty, plant and equipment) and $210 million of its capital lease obligations (which are included in other liabilities) at the end of the current contractual lease terms related tolease renewal option periods thereafter. Any early terminations may impact the amounts that are written off.

under this plan were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2012 as the Company continues to negotiatethe exit of certain contracts and removes certain of its equipment from the network sites. The spectrum was classified as held for sale at March 27, 2011. Although theCompany will attempt to sell certain of the other FLO TV assets, these other assets were classified as held for use at March 27, 2011 because the held for sale criteria, underapplicable accounting rules, were not met, and as a result, the FLO TV business was not considered a discontinued operation at March 27, 2011.

The Company estimates that it will incur future restructuring and restructuring-related charges associated with this plan of up to $65 million, which are primarily related tolease exit and other costs. Restructuring charges consist of lease exit costs, other contract termination costs and certain severance costs. Restructuring-related charges include allother charges associated with the execution of this plan and primarily consist of asset impairment and accelerated depreciation. The restructuring charges are recorded in theQSI segment, and the restructuring-related charges are recorded primarily in the QSI segment. The Company may also realize certain gains, primarily due to the potentialrelease of liabilities associated with ongoing efforts to exit certain contracts, the amount of which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Future cash expendituresassociated with this plan are expected to be in the range of $125 million to $175 million.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Firethorn division in the QWI segment introduced a new product application trademarked as SWAGG. The initial consumeradoption rate of SWAGG has fallen significantly short of the Company's expectations, and as a result, the Company revised its internal forecasts to reflect lower than expecteddemand and reduced the Firethorn cost structure. Based on these adverse changes, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test for the Firethorn division, which wasdetermined to be a reporting unit for purposes of the goodwill impairment test. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. First, the Company estimated the fair value ofthe Firethorn reporting unit by considering both discounted future projected cash flows and prices of comparable businesses. The results of this analysis indicated that thecarrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company measured the amount of impairment charge by determining the implied fair value of thegoodwill as if the Firethorn reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. The Company determined the fair value of the assets and the liabilities, primarilyusing a cost approach. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, the Company recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $114 million in the second quarterof fiscal 2011. Subsequent to the impairment, $40 million of goodwill remains for the Firethorn reporting unit. Note 12 — Acquisition

On January 5, 2011, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement under which it intends to acquire Atheros Communications, Inc. for $45 pershare in cash, which represented an enterprise value of approximately $3.1 billion on that date. The transaction has received approval of Atheros’ stockholders and certainforeign regulators, and the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, has expired. The completion of the transaction remainssubject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including an additional foreign regulatory approval. The Company expects the transaction to close in the third quarter offiscal 2011.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Reportand the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the yearended September 26, 2010 contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differsubstantially from those referred to herein due to a number of factors, including but not limited to risks described in the section entitled Risk Factors and elsewhere in thisQuarterly Report.

Overview

Recent Developments

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $3.9 billion, with net income of $999 million, which were impacted by the following key items:

• We shipped approximately 118 million Mobile Station Modem (MSM) integrated circuits for CDMA- and OFDMA-based wireless devices, an increase of 27%compared to approximately 93 million MSM integrated circuits in the year ago quarter. (1)

• Total reported device sales were approximately $40.0 billion, an increase of approximately 44% compared to approximately $27.7 billion in the year ago quarter. (2)

• We resolved two licensee disputes, and as a result, recorded revenues of $401 million related to prior quarters.

• We are executing on a restructuring plan under which the FLO TV business and network were shut down, and we are no longer pursuing our MediaFLOTechnologies business. We recorded restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $312 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

• During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Firethorn division in the QWI segment introduced a new product application trademarked as SWAGG. The initialconsumer adoption of SWAGG has fallen significantly short of our expectation, and as a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded impairment chargesof $120 million, including $114 million in goodwill impairment.

Against this backdrop, the following recent developments occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 with respect to key elements of our business or our industry:

• Worldwide wireless subscriptions grew by approximately 3% to reach approximately 5.6 billion.(3)

• Worldwide 3G subscriptions (all CDMA-based) grew to approximately 1.3 billion, approximately 24% of total wireless subscriptions, including approximately524 million CDMA2000 1X/1xEV-DO subscriptions and approximately 783 million WCDMA/HSPA/TD-SCDMA subscriptions. (3)

• In the handset market, CDMA-based unit shipments grew an estimated 38% over the prior year quarter, compared to an estimated increase of 16% across allwireless technologies. (4)

(1) During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, some customers built devices that incorporated two MSMs. In such cases, which represent less than 1% of our gross volume, we count only one MSM inreporting the MSM shipments.

(2) Total reported device sales is the sum of all reported sales in U.S. dollars (as reported to us by our licensees) of all licensed CDMA-based subscriber devices (including handsets, modules, modem cardsand other subscriber devices) by our licensees during a particular period. Not all licensees report sales the same way (e.g., some licensees report sales net of permitted deductions, such as transportation,insurance and packing costs, while other licensees report sales and then identify the amount of permitted deductions in their reports), and the way in which licensees report such information may changefrom time to time.

(3) According to Wireless Intelligence estimates as of April 18, 2011, for the quarter ending March 31, 2011. Wireless Intelligence estimates for CDMA2000 1X/1xEV-DO subscribers do not includeWireless Local Loop.

(4) Based on current reports by Strategy Analytics, a global research and consulting firm, in their February 2011 Global Handset Market Share Update. Our Business and Operating Segments

We design, manufacture, have manufactured on our behalf and market digital wireless telecommunications products and services based on our CDMA technology and othertechnologies. We derive revenues principally from sales of integrated circuit products, license fees and royalties for use of our intellectual property, messaging and otherservices and related hardware sales, software development and licensing and related services and software hosting services. Operating expenses primarily consist of cost ofequipment and services, research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses.

We conduct business primarily through four reportable segments. These segments are: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, or QCT; Qualcomm Technology Licensing, orQTL; Qualcomm Wireless & Internet, or QWI; and Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives, or QSI.

QCT is a leading developer and supplier of CDMA- and OFDMA-based integrated circuits and system software for wireless voice and data communications, multimediafunctions and global positioning system products. QCT’s integrated circuit products and system software are used in wireless devices, particularly mobile phones, tablets,laptops, data modules, handheld wireless computers, data cards and infrastructure equipment. The integrated circuits for wireless devices include the Mobile Station Modem(MSM), Mobile Data Modem (MDM), Qualcomm Single Chip (QSC), Qualcomm Snapdragon (QSD), Radio Frequency (RF), Power Management (PM) and Bluetooth devices.The baseband integrated circuits (MSM, MDM, QSC and QSD) for wireless devices and system software perform voice and data communication, multimedia and globalpositioning functions, and our RF, PM and Bluetooth devices perform radio conversion between radio frequency and baseband signals, power management and peripheralconnectivity. QCT’s system software enables the other device components to interface with the integrated circuit products and is the foundation software enablingmanufacturers to develop devices utilizing the functionality within the integrated circuits. The infrastructure equipment integrated circuits and system software perform the corebaseband CDMA modem functionality in the wireless operator’s base station equipment. QCT revenues comprised 51% and 58% of total consolidated revenues in the secondquarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 56% and 59% of total consolidated revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively.

QCT utilizes a fabless production business model, which means that we do not own or operate foundries for the production of silicon wafers from which our integratedcircuits are made. Integrated circuits are die cut from silicon wafers that have completed the assembly and final test manufacturing processes. We rely on independent third-party suppliers to perform the manufacturing and assembly, and most of the testing, of our integrated circuits. Our suppliers are also responsible for the procurement of most ofthe raw materials used in the production of our integrated circuits. We employ both turnkey and two-stage manufacturing business models to purchase our integrated circuits.Turnkey is when our foundry suppliers are responsible for delivering fully assembled and tested integrated circuits. Under the two-stage manufacturing business model, wepurchase die from semiconductor manufacturing foundries and contract with separate third-party manufacturers for back-end assembly and test services. We refer to this two-stage manufacturing business model as Integrated Fabless Manufacturing (IFM).

QTL grants licenses or otherwise provides rights to use portions of our intellectual property portfolio, which includes certain patent rights essential to and/or useful in themanufacture and sale of certain wireless products, including, without limitation, products implementing cdmaOne, CDMA2000, WCDMA, CDMA TDD (including TD-SCDMA), GSM/GPRS/EDGE and/or OFDMA standards and their derivatives. QTL receives license fees as well as ongoing royalties based on worldwide sales by licensees ofproducts incorporating or using our intellectual property. License fees are fixed amounts paid in one or more installments. Ongoing royalties are generally based upon apercentage of the wholesale (i.e., licensee’s) selling price of licensed products, net of certain permissible deductions (e.g., certain shipping costs, packing costs, VAT, etc.). QTLrevenues comprised 45% and 37% of total consolidated revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 39% and 35% of total consolidated revenues forthe first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. The vast majority of such revenues were generated through our licensees’ sales of cdmaOne, CDMA2000 andWCDMA subscriber equipment products.

QWI, which includes Qualcomm Enterprise Services (QES), Qualcomm Internet Services (QIS), Qualcomm Government Technologies (QGOV) and Firethorn, generatesrevenues primarily through mobile information products and services and software and software development aimed at support and delivery of wireless applications. QES sellsequipment, software and services used by transportation and other companies to connect wirelessly with their assets and workforce. Through March 2011, QES has shippedapproximately 1,466,000 terrestrial-based and satellite-based mobile information units. QIS provides content enablement services for the wireless industry, including Brew, thePlaza suite and other services. QIS also provides QChat push-to-talk, QPoint and other products for wireless network operators. QGOV provides development, hardware andanalytical expertise involving wireless communications technologies to United States government agencies. Firethorn builds and manages software applications that enablemobile commerce services. QWI revenues comprised 4% and 6% of total consolidated revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, and 5% and 6% of totalconsolidated revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively.

QSI consists of the Company’s strategic investment activities, including FLO TV Incorporated (FLO TV), our wholly-owned wireless multimedia operator subsidiary. QSImakes strategic investments that we believe will open new markets for CDMA- and OFDMA-based technologies, support the design and introduction of new CDMA andOFDMA products and services for wireless voice and internet data communications or possess unique capabilities or technology. Many of these strategic investments are inearly-stage companies and in wireless spectrum, such as the BWA spectrum won in the auction in India. On December 20, 2010, we announced that we have agreed to sellsubstantially all of our 700 MHz spectrum for $1.9 billion, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by the U.S. Federal CommunicationsCommission. The agreement follows our previously announced plan to restructure and evaluate strategic

23

options related to our FLO TV business and network. Under the restructuring plan, we shut down the FLO TV business and network in March 2011.

Nonreportable segments include: the Qualcomm MEMS Technologies division, which continues to develop an interferometric modulator (IMOD) display technology basedon micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) structure combined with thin film optics; and other product initiatives. The MediaFLO Technologies business is no longer beingpursued.

Restructuring and Restructuring-Related Activities

We are executing on a restructuring plan under which the FLO TV business and network were shut down on March 27, 2011, and we are no longer pursuing our MediaFLOTechnologies business. Restructuring activities were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2012 as wecontinue to negotiate the exit of certain contracts and remove certain of our equipment from the network sites. The 700 MHz spectrum that we agreed to sell was classified asheld for sale at March 27, 2011. Although we will attempt to sell certain of the other FLO TV assets, these other assets were classified as held for use at March 27, 2011 becausethe held for sale criteria, under applicable accounting rules, were not met, and as a result, the FLO TV business was not considered a discontinued operation at March 27, 2011.

We estimate that we will incur restructuring and restructuring-related charges associated with this plan of up to $65 million, which are primarily related to lease exit andother costs. Restructuring charges consist of lease exit costs, other contract termination costs and certain severance costs. Restructuring-related charges include all other chargesassociated with the execution of this plan and are expected to primarily consist of asset impairments and accelerated depreciation. The restructuring charges are recorded in theQSI segment, and the restructuring-related charges are recorded primarily in the QSI segment. We may also realize certain gains, primarily due to the potential release ofliabilities associated with ongoing efforts to exit certain contracts, the amount of which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Future cash expenditures associated withthis plan are expected to be in the range of $125 million to $175 million.

The deployment of 3G networks enables increased voice capacity and higher data rates than prior generation networks, thereby supporting more minutes of use and a widerange of mobile broadband data applications for handsets, 3G connected computing devices and other consumer electronics. Many wireless operators are also planning tocomplement their existing 3G networks by deploying OFDMA-based technology, often called 4G, in new spectrum to gain additional capacity for data services, such as in therecent launch of a LTE network by Verizon Wireless in the United States. As a result, we expect continued growth in the coming years in consumer demand for 3G and 3G/4Gmultimode products and services around the world. As we look forward to the next several months, the following items are likely to have an impact on our business:

• The worldwide transition to 3G CDMA-based networks is expected to continue, including the further expansion of 3G in China and India.

• We expect consumer demand for advanced 3G-based and 3G/4G multimode devices, including smartphones, data-centric devices and new device categories, such astablets and eBook readers, to continue at a strong pace. We also expect growth in lower-end 3G devices as 3G expands in emerging regions. We still face significantcompetition in lower-end devices from GSM-based products, particularly in emerging regions.

• We expect that CDMA-based device prices will continue to vary broadly due to the increased penetration of smartphones and the popularity of smartphone applicationscombined with active competition throughout the world at all price tiers. This, along with varying rates of economic growth by region and stronger than averagegrowth in emerging regions, is expected to continue to impact the average and range of selling prices of CDMA-based devices.

• We continue to invest significant resources toward the development of technology to increase the data rates available with 3G and 4G networks, wireless basebandchips, converged computing/communication chips, multimedia products, software and services for the wireless industry.

• We continue to invest in the evolution of CDMA and a broad range of other technologies, such as LTE, our IMOD display technology and our Snapdragon platform, aspart of our vision to enable a wide range of products and technologies.

• We are executing on a restructuring plan under which we shut down the FLO TV business and network, and we are no longer pursuing our MediaFLO Technologiesbusiness. We estimate that we will incur future restructuring and restructuring-related charges associated with this plan of up to $65 million, and that future cashexpenditures associated with this plan will be in the range of $125 million to $175 million. We may also realize certain gains, primarily due to the potential release ofliabilities associated with ongoing efforts to exit certain contracts, the amount of which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Restructuring activities wereinitiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2012. We have agreed to sell substantially all of our 700MHz spectrum for $1.9 billion, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. Ifthe closing conditions are met, we expect to recognize a gain of $1.2 billion.

• Based on our most recent review of our extended supply chain, we do not foresee any significant impact in our ability to supply product to our customers as a result ofthe recent events in Japan. In addition, based on preliminary indications, we do not foresee any significant impact on the demand profile for wireless devices in thatregion. We will continue to monitor the situation and its impact on our business as the situation in Japan develops.

• On January 5, 2011, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement under which we intend to acquire Atheros Communications, Inc. for $45 per sharein cash, which represented an enterprise value of approximately $3.1 billion on that date. The transaction has received approval by Atheros’ stockholders and certainforeign regulators, and the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, has expired. The transaction is subject tocertain closing conditions, including the receipt of an additional foreign regulatory approval, and is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

In addition to the foregoing business and market-based matters, we continue to devote resources to working with and educating participants in the wireless value chain as tothe benefits of our business model in promoting a highly competitive and innovative wireless market. However, we expect that certain companies may continue to bedissatisfied with the need to pay reasonable royalties for the use of our technology and not welcome the success of our business model in enabling new, highly cost-effectivecompetitors to their products. We expect that such companies will continue to challenge our business model in various forums throughout the world.

Further discussion of risks related to our business is presented in the Risk Factors included in this Quarterly Report.

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2011 Compared to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2010 Revenues. Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $3.88 billion, compared to $2.66 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenues from sales ofequipment and services for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $2.04 billion, compared to $1.60 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues fromsales of equipment and services was primarily due to a $431 million increase in QCT equipment and services revenues. Revenues from licensing and royalty fees for the secondquarter of fiscal 2011 were $1.83 billion, compared to $1.07 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues from licensing and royalty fees was primarilydue to a $772 million increase in QTL revenues. Cost of Equipment and Services. Cost of equipment and services revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $1.36 billion, compared to $809 million for the secondquarter of fiscal 2010. Cost of equipment and services revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included $304 million related to our FLO TV subsidiary, an increase of$249 million as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of our shut down of the FLO TV business and network. Cost of equipment and services revenues as apercentage of equipment and services revenues for our other businesses was 52% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to 47% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.This decrease in margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily attributable to a decrease in QCT grossmargin percentage. Cost of equipment and services in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included $17 million in share-based compensation, compared to $10 million in thesecond quarter of fiscal 2010. Cost of equipment and services revenues as a percentage of equipment and services revenues may fluctuate in future quarters depending on themix of products sold and services provided, competitive pricing, new product introduction costs and other factors. Research and Development Expenses. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, research and development expenses were $740 million or 19% of revenues, compared to$648 million or 24% of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to a $76 million increase in costs related to the developmentof integrated circuit products, next generation CDMA and OFDMA technologies and other initiatives to support the acceleration of advanced wireless products and services,including lower-cost devices, the integration of wireless with consumer electronics and computing, the convergence of multiband, multimode, multinetwork products andtechnologies, third-party operating systems and services platforms. This increase was partially offset by a $21 million decrease in costs related to our FLO TV subsidiary. Thepercentage decrease was primarily attributable to the 46% increase in revenues, largely related to our QTL licensing and royalty revenues, relative to the 14% increase in costs.Research and development expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included share-based compensation of $98 million, compared to $75 million in the second quarter offiscal 2010. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses were $585 million or 15% of revenues,compared to $430 million or 16% of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to a $53 million increase in charitabledonations, primarily resulting from the establishment of the Qualcomm Charitable Foundation in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, a $36 million increase in employee-relatedexpenses and a $14 million increase in professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included share-based compensationof $87 million, compared to $69 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the loans related to the BWA spectrum won in the India auction in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $263 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $191 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Theeffective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was 21%, compared to 20% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2011 Compared to First Six Months of Fiscal 2010

Revenues. Total revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were $7.22 billion, compared to $5.33 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2010. Revenues from sales ofequipment and services for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were $4.26 billion, compared to $3.26 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues fromsales of equipment and services was primarily due to a $944 million increase in QCT equipment and services revenues. Revenues from licensing and royalty fees for the first sixmonths of fiscal 2011 were $2.97 billion, compared to $2.08 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues from licensing and royalty fees wasprimarily due to a $912 million increase in QTL revenues.

Cost of Equipment and Services. Cost of equipment and services revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2011 was $2.49 billion, compared to $1.62 billion for the first six

months of fiscal 2010. Cost of equipment and services revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2011 included $391 million related to our FLO TV subsidiary, an increase of$289 million as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2010 as a result of our shut down of the FLO TV business and network. Cost of equipment and services revenues as apercentage of equipment and services revenues for our other businesses was 49% for the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to 47% for the first six months of fiscal 2010.This decrease in margin percentage in the first six months of fiscal 2011 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2010 was primarily attributable to a decrease in QCT grossmargin percentage. Cost of equipment and services revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2011 included $30 million in share-based compensation, compared to $21 million inthe first six months of fiscal 2010.

Research and Development Expenses. For the first six months of fiscal 2011, research and development expenses were $1.41 billion or 20% of revenues, compared to

$1.24 billion or 23% of revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2010. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to a $132 million increase in costs related to thedevelopment of integrated circuit products, next generation CDMA and OFDMA technologies, the expansion of our intellectual property portfolio and other initiatives tosupport the acceleration of advanced wireless products and services, including lower-cost devices, the integration of wireless with consumer electronics and computing, theconvergence of multiband, multimode, multinetwork products and

technologies, third-party operating systems and services platforms. This increase was partially offset by a $20 million decrease in costs related to our FLO TV subsidiary. Thepercentage decrease was primarily attributable to the 35% increase in revenues relative to the 13% increase in costs. Research and development expenses in the first six monthsof fiscal 2011 included share-based compensation of $184 million, compared to $147 million in the first six months of fiscal 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the first six months of fiscal 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.02 billion or 14% of revenues,

compared to $810 million or 15% of revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2010. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to a $72 million increase in employee-relatedexpenses, a $54 million increase in charitable contributions, primarily resulting from the establishment of the Qualcomm Charitable Foundation in the second quarter of fiscal2011, and a $48 million increase in patent-related costs and other professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2011 includedshare-based compensation of $159 million, compared to $137 million in the first six months of fiscal 2010.

Goodwill Impairment. Operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2011 included a $114 million goodwill impairment charge related to our Firethorn division due to

the operating performance of a new product application falling significantly short of expectations. Net Investment Income. Net investment income was $404 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to $361 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010.

The net increase was comprised as follows (in millions):

During the first six months of fiscal 2011, we recorded lower impairment losses and higher net realized gains on marketable securities as compared to the first six months offiscal 2010 due to improvements in financial market conditions. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the loans related to the BWA spectrum won in theIndia auction in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $422 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to $401 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. The

effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2011 was 16%, compared to 20% for the first six months of fiscal 2010. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the UnitedStates government extended the federal research and development tax credit to include qualified research expenditures paid or incurred after December 31, 2009 and beforeJanuary 1, 2012. We recorded a tax benefit of $32 million related to fiscal 2010 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 from the retroactive extension of this credit. The annualeffective tax rate for fiscal 2010 included tax expense of approximately $137 million that arose because certain deferred revenue was taxable in fiscal 2010, but the resultingdeferred tax asset will reverse in future years when the Company's state tax rate will be lower as a result of California tax legislation enacted in 2009. The effective tax rate forthe first six months of fiscal 2011 of 16% was lower than the expected annual effective rate of 17% primarily as a result of the benefit associated with the retroactive extensionof the tax credit in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

The estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 of 17% is less than the United States federal statutory rate primarily due to benefits of approximately 21% related to

foreign earnings taxed at less than the United States federal rate and benefits of

28

approximately 2% related to the research and development tax credit, partially offset by state taxes of approximately 5%. The prior fiscal year rate was lower than the UnitedStates federal statutory rate primarily due to benefits related to foreign earnings taxed at less than the United States federal rate, partially offset by state taxes and tax expenserelated to the valuation of deferred tax assets to reflect changes in California law.

Our Segment Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2011 Compared to the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2010

The following should be read in conjunction with the second quarter financial results of fiscal 2011 for each reporting segment. See “Notes to Condensed Consolidated

Financial Statements, Note 9 - Segment Information.” QCT Segment. QCT revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $1.96 billion, compared to $1.54 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Equipment and services

revenues, mostly related to sales of MSM and accompanying RF and PM integrated circuits, were $1.91 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $1.47 billionfor the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in equipment and services revenues resulted primarily from a $380 million increase related to higher unit shipments and a $59million increase related to the net effects of changes in product mix and the average selling prices of such products. Approximately 118 million MSM integrated circuits weresold during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to approximately 93 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. (1)

QCT earnings before taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $417 million, compared to $344 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. QCT operating income as

a percentage of its revenues (operating margin percentage) was 21% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to 22% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase inQCT earnings before taxes was primarily attributable to the increase in QCT revenues, partially offset by a $60 million increase in research and development expenses and a$33 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The decrease in operating margin percentage was primarily due to a decrease in gross margin percentage,partially offset by a higher increase in QCT revenues relative to the increases in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses. QCT gross marginpercentage decreased as a result of the net effects of lower average selling prices, higher product support costs and a decrease in average unit costs.

QTL Segment. QTL revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $1.75 billion, compared to $974 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. During the second

quarter of fiscal 2011, we entered into agreements with two licensees to settle ongoing disputes, including the arbitration proceeding with Panasonic. As a result, QTL revenuesduring the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included $401 million in revenues related to prior quarters. The remaining $371 million increase in revenues was primarily due to anincrease in sales of CDMA-based devices by licensees and higher average royalties per unit of CDMA-based devices as well as current period revenues from the two licenseesfollowing the settlement of the two disputes.

QTL earnings before taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $1.57 billion, compared to $821 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. QTL operating margin

percentage was 90% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to 84% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increases in QTL earnings before taxes and operatingmargin percentage were primarily attributable to the increase in QTL revenues.

QWI Segment. QWI revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $157 million, compared to $152 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. QWI loss before taxes

for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $135 million, compared to $1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. QWI operating margin percentage was negative in thesecond quarter of both fiscal 2011 and 2010, principally due to the operating losses of our Firethorn division. The increase in QWI loss before taxes was primarily attributable to$120 million in impairment charges related to certain assets of our Firethorn division, including $114 million in goodwill impairment.

QSI Segment. QSI revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $5 million, compared to $2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. QSI loss before taxes for the

second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $404 million, compared to $136 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. QSI loss before taxes increased by $268 million primarily due toa $233 million increase in our FLO TV subsidiary’s loss before taxes and a $27 million increase in interest expense attributable to the loans related to the BWA spectrum wonin the India auction in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

We are executing on a restructuring plan under which we shut down the FLO TV business and network in March 2011. QSI loss before taxes for the second quarter of fiscal

2011 included $310 million related to this plan. In addition to our ongoing operating costs, we expect to incur future restructuring and restructuring-related charges associatedwith this plan of up to $65 million, which are primarily related to lease exit and other costs. Restructuring activities were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and areexpected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2012.

Our Segment Results for the First Six Months of Fiscal 2011 Compared to the First Six Months of Fiscal 2010

The following should be read in conjunction with the first six months financial results of fiscal 2011 for each reporting segment. See “Notes to Condensed ConsolidatedFinancial Statements, Note 9 - Segment Information.”

QCT Segment. QCT revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were $4.08 billion, compared to $3.14 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2010. Equipment and

services revenues, mostly related to sales of MSM and accompanying RF and PM integrated circuits, were $3.97 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to$3.03 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2010. The increase in equipment and services revenues resulted primarily from an $839 million increase related to higher unitshipments and a $118 million increase related to the net effects of changes in product mix and the average selling prices of such products. Approximately 236 million MSMintegrated circuits were sold during the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to approximately 185 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010.

QCT earnings before taxes for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were $1.06 billion, compared to $769 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. QCT operating income

as a percentage of its revenues (operating margin percentage) was 26% in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to 25% in the first six months of fiscal 2010. Theincreases in QCT earnings before taxes and operating margin percentage were primarily attributable to a higher increase in QCT revenues relative to the increases in researchand development and selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in gross margin percentage. QCT gross margin percentage decreased as a resultof the net effects of lower average selling prices, higher product support costs and a decrease in average unit costs. (1)

QCT inventories increased by 14% to $549 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011 from $481 million at September 26, 2010 primarily due to an increase in finished

goods on hand related to the timing of inventory builds and changes in product mix. QTL Segment. QTL revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were $2.80 billion, compared to $1.89 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2010. During the second

quarter of fiscal 2011, we entered into agreements with two licensees to settle ongoing disputes, including the arbitration proceeding with Panasonic and recorded $401 millionin revenues related to prior quarters. The remaining $511 million increase in revenues during the first six months of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to an increase in sales ofCDMA-based devices by licensees and higher average royalties per unit of CDMA-based devices, partially offset by the effect of $71 million that was included in QTLrevenues in the first six months of fiscal 2010 but was attributable to fiscal 2009. The $71 million had not been previously recognized in fiscal 2009 due to discussions regardinga license agreement that was signed in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

QTL earnings before taxes for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were $2.47 billion, compared to $1.59 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2010. QTL operating margin

percentage was 88% in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to 84% in the first six months of fiscal 2010. The increases in QTL earnings before taxes and operatingmargin percentage were primarily attributable to the increase in QTL revenues.

QWI Segment. QWI revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were $329 million, compared to $294 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. Revenues increased

primarily due to a $30 million increase in QES equipment and services revenues resulting primarily from higher unit shipments of our asset-tracking products. QWI loss beforetaxes for the first six months of fiscal 2011 was $135 million, compared to earnings before taxes of $8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. QWI operating marginpercentage was negative in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to 1% in the first six months of fiscal 2010. The decreases in QWI earnings before taxes and operatingmargin percentage were primarily attributable to $120 million in impairment charges related to certain assets of our Firethorn division, including $114 million in goodwillimpairment, and a $16 million decrease in QIS operating income.

QSI Segment. QSI revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were $5 million, compared to $4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. QSI loss before taxes for the

first six months of fiscal 2011 was $563 million, compared to $243 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. QSI loss before taxes increased by $320 million primarily dueto a $268 million increase in our FLO TV subsidiary’s loss before taxes and a $46 million increase in interest expense attributable to the loans related to the BWA spectrumwon in the India auction in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

We are executing on a restructuring plan under which we shut down the FLO TV business and network in March 2011. QSI loss before taxes for the six months of fiscal 2011

included $374 million related to this plan. In addition to our ongoing operating costs, we expect to incur future restructuring and restructuring-related charges associated withthis plan of up to $65 million, which are primarily related to lease exit and other costs. Restructuring activities were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and are expectedto be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2012.

(1) During the first six months of fiscal 2011, some customers built devices that incorporated two MSMs. In such cases, which represent less than 1% of our gross volume, we count only one MSM in reportingthe MSM shipments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations and proceeds from the issuance ofcommon stock under our stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $22.1 billion at March 27, 2011, an increase of$3.7 billion from September 27, 2010. This increase included $2.0 billion of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our equity compensation plans. Our cash, cashequivalents and marketable securities at March 27, 2011 consisted of $8.1 billion held domestically and $14.0 billion held by foreign subsidiaries. Due to tax and accountingconsiderations, we derive liquidity for operations primarily from domestic cash flow and investments held domestically. Total cash provided by operating activities decreased to$1.8 billion during the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to $2.0 billion during the first six months of fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the payment of $1.5billion to the United States tax authorities in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, offset by an increase in net income for the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to the first sixmonths of 2010.

At March 27, 2011, approximately $1.7 billion remained authorized for repurchase under our stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program has no expiration

date. While we did not repurchase any of our common stock during the first six months of fiscal 2011, we continue to evaluate repurchases under this program subject to capitalavailability and periodic determinations that such repurchases are in the best interest of our stockholders.

We announced cash dividends totaling $316 million, or $0.19 per share, during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, which were paid on March 25, 2011. On March 8, 2011,

we announced an increase in our quarterly cash dividend per share of common stock from $0.19 to $0.215, which is effective for quarterly dividends payable after March 25,2011. On April 7, 2011, we announced a cash dividend per share of $0.215 per share on our common stock, payable on June 24, 2011 to stockholders of record as of May 27,2011. We intend to continue to use cash dividends as a means of returning capital to stockholders, subject to capital availability and periodic determinations that cash dividendsare in the best interests of our stockholders.

Accounts receivable increased 9% during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Days sales outstanding, on a consolidated basis, were 17 days at March 27, 2011 compared to

18 days at December 26, 2010. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the effects of increased revenues and the timing of shipments and customer paymentsfor receivables related to integrated circuits.

We believe our current cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and our expected cash flow generated from operations will provide us with flexibility and satisfy our

working and other capital requirements over the next fiscal year and beyond based on our current business plans.

• Our research and development expenditures were $1.4 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2011 and $2.5 billion in fiscal 2010, and we expect to continue to investheavily in research and development for new technologies, applications and services for the wireless industry.

• Capital expenditures were $181 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011 and $426 million in fiscal 2010. We anticipate that capital expenditures will be higher infiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010, excluding the fiscal 2010 $1.1 billion advance payment on the BWA spectrum in India, primarily due to estimated capitalexpenditures of $400 million in fiscal 2011 related to the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Taiwan for our QMT division. The estimated cost for theinitial phase of the facility is $975 million and is expected to be operational in fiscal 2012. The revised estimate for fiscal 2011 reflects a minor postponement in theexpected completion of the manufacturing facility due in part to equipment sourcing delays precipitated by the earthquake in Japan. Future capital expenditures mayalso be impacted by transactions that are currently not forecasted.

• Our purchase obligations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, some of which relate to research and development activities and capital expenditures, totaled $1.2 billionat March 27, 2011.

• We anticipate incurring future cash expenditures associated with the FLO TV restructuring plan in the range of $125 million to $175 million, primarily related to leaseexit and other costs. Restructuring activities were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2012.We expect the majority of the cash payments associated with this restructuring plan to be made by the end of fiscal 2012.

• Cash used for strategic investments and acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $89 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011 and $94 million in fiscal 2010. OnJanuary 5, 2011, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement under which we intend to acquire Atheros Communications, Inc. for $45 per share incash. We expect to

31

Page 33: WebFilings | EDGAR view · Indicate by check mark whether the registrant has submitted electronically and posted on its corporate Web site, if any, every Interactive Data File required

use approximately $3.1 billion in existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to effect this transaction, net of the cash equivalents and marketable securitiesexpected to be acquired from Atheros upon the close of the transaction. We continue to assess the potential for future cash expenditures for income taxes resulting fromthe acquisition of Atheros and any subsequent restructuring of legal entities. We expect the transaction to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. We expect to continuemaking strategic investments and acquisitions to open new markets for our technology, expand our technology, obtain development resources, grow our patent portfolioor pursue new business opportunities.

• In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the $1.1 billion short-term loan related to the BWA spectrum purchase in India was refinanced with new loan agreements that bearinterest at an annual rate based on the highest base rate among the bank lenders, which is reset quarterly, plus 0.25% with interest payments due monthly. The newloans are due and payable in full in December 2012. However, each lender has the right to demand prepayment of its portion of the outstanding loans on December 15,2011 subject to sufficient prior written notice. As a result, the loans are classified as a component of current liabilities.

• Pursuant to the Settlement and Patent License and Non-Assert Agreement with Broadcom, we are obligated to pay a remaining $389 million ratably through April2013, including imputed interest, of which $86 million is payable in the remainder of fiscal 2011.

Contractual Obligations/Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant contractual obligations not fully recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets or fully disclosed in the notes to our condensed consolidatedfinancial statements. Our consolidated balance sheet at March 27, 2011 includes an aggregate of $1.1 billion in loans that are payable in full in Indian rupees in December 2012.We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in S-K 303(a)(4)(ii).

Additional information regarding our financial commitments at March 27, 2011 is provided in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements. See “Notes toCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 6 — Income Taxes,” “Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies” and “Note 12 — Acquisition.”

Risk Factors

You should consider each of the following factors as well as the other information in this Quarterly Report in evaluating our business and our prospects. The risks anduncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may alsoimpair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our commonstock could decline. You should also refer to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedSeptember 26, 2010, including our financial statements and the related notes.

Risks Related to Our Businesses

Our revenues are dependent on the commercial deployment of our CDMA- and OFDMA-based technologies and upgrades of 3G and 3G/4G multimode wirelesscommunications equipment, products and services based on our technologies.

We develop, patent and commercialize CDMA- and OFDMA-based technologies. Our revenues are dependent upon the commercial deployment of our technologies andupgrades of 3G and 3G/4G multimode wireless communications equipment, products and services based on our technologies. Our business may be harmed, and our investmentsin these technologies may not provide us an adequate return if:

• wireless operators delay 3G and/or 3G/4G multimode deployments, expansions or upgrades;

• LTE, an OFDMA-based wireless standard, is not widely deployed or commercial deployment is delayed; or

• wireless operators deploy other technologies.

Our business is dependent on our ability to increase our market share and to continue to drive the adoption of our products and services into 3G, 3G/4G multimode and 4Gwireless device markets. We are also dependent on the success of our customers, licensees and CDMA- and OFDMA-based wireless operators, as well as the timing of theirdeployment of new services. Our licensees and CDMA- or OFDMA-based wireless operators may incur lower gross margins on products or services based on our technologiesthan on products using alternative technologies as a result of greater competition or other factors. If commercial deployment of our technologies and upgrades to 3G, 3G/4Gmultimode or 4G wireless communications equipment, products and services based on our technologies do not continue or are delayed, our revenues could be negativelyimpacted, and our business could suffer.

32

Page 34: WebFilings | EDGAR view · Indicate by check mark whether the registrant has submitted electronically and posted on its corporate Web site, if any, every Interactive Data File required

Our revenues can be impacted by the deployment of other technologies in place of CDMA- and/or OFDMA-based technologies or by the need to extend certain existing licenseagreements to cover additional later patents.

Although we own a very strong portfolio of issued and pending patents related to GSM, GPRS, EDGE, OFDM, OFDMA and/or Multiple Input, Multiple Output(MIMO) technologies, our patent portfolio licensing program in these areas is less established and might not be as successful in generating licensing income as our CDMAportfolio licensing program. Many wireless operators are investigating or have selected LTE (or to a lesser extent WiMax) as next-generation technologies for deployment inexisting or future spectrum bands as complementary to their existing CDMA-based networks. Although we believe that our patented technology is essential and useful toimplementation of the LTE and WiMax industry standards and have granted royalty-bearing licenses to 11 companies to make and sell products implementing those standardsbut not implementing 3G standards, we might not achieve the same royalty revenues on such LTE or WiMax products as on CDMA-based or multimode CDMA/OFDMA-based products.

The licenses granted to and from us under a number of our license agreements include only patents that are either filed or issued prior to a certain date and, in a smallnumber of agreements, royalties are payable on those patents for a specified time period. As a result, there are agreements with some licensees where later patents are notlicensed by or to us under our license agreements. In order to license any such later patents, we will need to extend or modify our license agreements or enter into new licenseagreements with such licensees. We might not be able to modify such license agreements in the future to license any such later patents or extend such date(s) to incorporate laterpatents without affecting the material terms and conditions of our license agreements with such licensees, and such modifications may impact our revenues.

Global economic conditions that impact the wireless communications industry could negatively affect the demand for our products and our customers’ products, which maynegatively affect our revenues.

Despite the improvements in market conditions, a future decline in global economic conditions, particularly in geographic regions with high customer concentrations, couldhave adverse, wide-ranging effects on demand for our products and for the products of our customers, particularly wireless communications equipment manufacturers or othersin the wireless industry, such as wireless operators. Other unexpected negative events may have adverse effects on the economy, on demand for wireless device products or onwireless device inventories at equipment manufacturers and wireless operators. In addition, our direct and indirect customers’ ability to purchase or pay for our products andservices, obtain financing and upgrade wireless networks could be adversely affected by economic conditions, leading to cancellation or delay of orders for our products.

Our industry is subject to competition in an environment of rapid technological change that could result in decreased demand for our products and the products of ourcustomers and licensees, declining average selling prices for our licensees’ products and our products and/or new specifications or requirements placed upon our products,each of which could negatively affect our revenues and operating results.

Our industry is subject to rapid technological change, and we must make substantial investments in new products, services and technologies to compete successfully. Newtechnological innovations generally require a substantial investment before they are commercially viable. We intend to continue to make substantial investments in developingnew products and technologies, and it is possible that our development efforts will not be successful and that our new technologies will not result in meaningful revenues. Ourproducts, services and technologies face significant competition, and we cannot assure you that the revenues generated or the timing of their deployment, which may bedependent on the actions of others, will meet our expectations. Competition in the telecommunications market is affected by various factors that include, among others:evolving industry standards, evolving methods of transmission for wireless voice and data communications; value-added features that drive replacement rates and selling prices;scalability and the ability of the system technology to meet customers’ immediate and future network requirements.

Our future success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to:

• continue to keep pace with technological developments;

• drive adoption of our integrated circuit products across a broad spectrum of wireless devices sold by our customers and licensees;

• develop and introduce new products, services, technologies and enhancements on a timely basis;

• effectively develop and commercialize turnkey, integrated product offerings that incorporate our integrated circuits, software, user interface and applications;

• become a preferred partner for operating system platforms, such as Android and Windows Mobile;

• focus our service businesses on key platforms that create standalone value or contribute to the success of our other businesses; and

• succeed in significant foreign markets, such as China, India and Europe.

Companies that promote non-CDMA technologies (e.g., GSM, WiMax) and companies that design CDMA-based integrated circuits are generally competitors or potentialcompetitors. Examples (some of whom are strategic partners of ours in other areas) include Broadcom, Freescale, Fujitsu, Icera, Intel, Marvell Technology, Mediatek, nVidia,Renesas Electronics, ST-Ericsson (a joint venture between Ericsson Mobile Platforms and ST-NXP Wireless), Texas Instruments and VIA Telecom. Many of these current andpotential competitors have advantages over us that include, among others: motivation by our customers in certain circumstances to find alternate suppliers; government supportof other technologies; and more extensive relationships with indigenous distribution and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) companies in developing territories (e.g.,China).

In addition to the foregoing, we have seen, and believe we will continue to see, an increase in customers requesting that we develop products, including chipsets andassociated software, that will incorporate “open source” software elements and operate in an “open source” environment, which may offer accessibility to a portion of aproduct’s source code and may expose related intellectual property to adverse licensing conditions. Developing open source products, while adequately protecting theintellectual property rights upon which our licensing business depends, may prove burdensome and time-consuming under certain circumstances, thereby placing us at acompetitive disadvantage for new product designs.

Competition may reduce average selling prices for our chipset products and the products of our customers and licensees. Reductions in the average selling prices of ourlicensees’ products, unless offset by an increase in volumes, generally result in reduced royalties payable to us. We anticipate that additional competitors will enter our marketsas a result of growth opportunities in wireless telecommunications, the trend toward global expansion by foreign and domestic competitors, technological and public policychanges and relatively low barriers to entry in selected segments of the industry.

We derive a significant portion of our consolidated revenues from a small number of customers and licensees. If revenues derived from these customers or licensees decrease,our operating results could be negatively affected.

Our QCT segment derives a significant portion of revenues from a small number of customers. The loss of any one of our QCT segment’s significant customers or the delay,even if only temporary, or cancellation of significant orders from any of these customers would reduce our revenues in the period of the deferral or cancellation and harm ourability to achieve or sustain expected levels of operating results. Accordingly, unless and until our QCT segment diversifies and expands its customer base, our future successwill largely depend upon the timing and size of any future purchase orders from these customers.

Although we have more than 195 licensees, our QTL segment derives a significant portion of royalty revenues from a limited number of licensees. Our future successdepends upon the ability of our licensees to develop, introduce and deliver high-volume products that achieve and sustain market acceptance. We have little or no control overthe sales efforts of our licensees, and our licensees might not be successful. Reductions in the average selling price of wireless communications devices sold by our majorlicensees, without a sufficient increase in the volumes of such devices sold, could have a material adverse effect on our revenues.

Efforts by some telecommunications equipment manufacturers or their customers to avoid paying fair and reasonable royalties for the use of our intellectual property maycreate uncertainty about our future business prospects, may require the investment of substantial management time and financial resources, and may result in legal decisionsand/or actions by foreign governments, Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) or other industry groups that harm our business.

A small number of companies, in the past, have initiated various strategies in an attempt to renegotiate, mitigate and/or eliminate their need to pay royalties to us for the useof our intellectual property in order to negatively affect our business model and that of our other licensees. These strategies have included (i) litigation, often alleginginfringement of patents held by such companies, patent misuse, patent exhaustion and patent and license unenforceability, or some form of unfair competition, (ii) takingpositions contrary to our understanding of their contracts with us, (iii) appeals to governmental authorities, (iv) collective action, including working with carriers, standardsbodies, other like-minded companies and other organizations, on both formal and informal bases, to adopt intellectual property policies and practices that could have the effectof limiting returns on intellectual property innovations, and (v) lobbying with governmental regulators and elected officials for the purpose of seeking the imposition of someform of compulsory licensing and/or to weaken a patent holder’s ability to enforce its rights or obtain a fair return for such rights. Some companies have proposed significantchanges to existing intellectual property policies for implementation by SDOs and other industry organizations, some of which would require a maximum aggregate intellectualproperty royalty rate for the use of all essential patents owned by all of the member companies to be applied to the selling price of any product implementing the relevantstandard. They have further proposed that such maximum aggregate royalty rate be apportioned to each member company with essential patents based upon the number ofessential patents held by such company. A number of these strategies are purportedly based on interpretations of the policies of certain standards development organizationsconcerning the licensing of patents that are or may be essential to industry standards and our alleged failure to abide by these policies. There is a risk that relevant courts orgovernmental agencies will interpret those policies in a manner adverse to our interests. If such proposals and strategies continue and are successful in the

34

Page 36: WebFilings | EDGAR view · Indicate by check mark whether the registrant has submitted electronically and posted on its corporate Web site, if any, every Interactive Data File required

future, our business model would be harmed, either by artificially limiting our return on investment with respect to new technologies or forcing us to work outside of the SDOsor such other industry groups to promote our new technologies, and our results of operations could be negatively impacted. As well, the legal and other costs associated withdefending our position have been and continue to be significant. We assume that such challenges regardless of their merits will continue into the foreseeable future and mayrequire the investment of substantial management time and financial resources to explain and defend our position.

The enforcement and protection of our intellectual property rights may be expensive, could fail to prevent misappropriation or unauthorized use of our proprietary intellectualproperty rights or could result in the loss of our ability to enforce one or more patents.

We rely primarily on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements and other methods, to protect ourproprietary information, technologies and processes, including our patent portfolio. Policing unauthorized use of our products and technologies is difficult and time consuming.We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken, or may take in the future, will prevent the misappropriation or unauthorized use of our proprietary information andtechnologies, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary intellectual property rights as fully or as readily as United States laws. We cannotbe certain that the laws and policies of any country, including the United States, or the practices of any of the standards bodies, foreign or domestic, with respect to intellectualproperty enforcement or licensing, issuance of spectrum licenses or the adoption of standards, will not be changed in a way detrimental to our licensing program or to the sale oruse of our products or technology. We may have difficulty in protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights and/or contracts in a particular foreign jurisdiction,including: challenges to our licensing practices under such jurisdictions’ competition laws; adoption of mandatory licensing provisions by foreign jurisdictions (either withcontrolled/regulated royalties or royalty free); and challenges pending before foreign competition agencies to the pricing and integration of additional features and functionalityinto our wireless chipset products.

A substantial portion of our patents and patent applications relate to our wireless communications technology and much of the remainder of our patents and patentapplications relate to our other technologies and products. We may need to litigate in the United States or elsewhere in the world to enforce our intellectual property rights,protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights of others. As a result of any such litigation, we could lose our ability to enforce one or morepatents or incur substantial unexpected operating costs. Any action we take to enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly and could absorb significant managementtime and attention, which, in turn, could negatively impact our operating results.

Claims by other companies that we infringe their intellectual property or that patents on which we rely are invalid could adversely affect our business.

From time to time, companies have asserted, and may again assert, patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights against our products or products using ourtechnologies or other technologies used in our industry. These claims have resulted and may again result in our involvement in litigation. We may not prevail in such litigationgiven the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in intellectual property litigation. If any of our products were found to infringe on another company’s intellectualproperty rights, we could be subject to an injunction or required to redesign our products, which could be costly, or to license such rights and/or pay damages or othercompensation to such other company. If we were unable to redesign our products, license such intellectual property rights used in our products or otherwise distribute ourproducts through a licensed supplier, we could be prohibited from making and selling such products. In any potential dispute involving other companies’ patents or otherintellectual property, our chipset foundries and customers could also become the targets of litigation. We are contingently liable under certain product sales, services, licenseand other agreements to indemnify certain customers against certain types of liability and/or damages arising from qualifying claims of patent infringement by products orservices sold or provided by us. Reimbursements under indemnification arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Furthermore, any suchlitigation could severely disrupt the supply of our products and the business of our chipset customers and their wireless operator customers, which in turn could hurt ourrelationships with our chipset customers and wireless operators and could result in a decline in our chipset sales and/or a reduction in our licensees’ sales to wireless operators,causing a corresponding decline in our chipset and/or licensing revenues. Any claims, regardless of their merit, could be time consuming to address, result in costly litigation,divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel or cause product release or shipment delays, any of which could have a material adverse effect upon our operatingresults.

We expect that we may continue to be involved in litigation and may have to appear in front of administrative bodies (such as the U.S. International Trade Commission) todefend against patent assertions against our products by companies, some of whom are attempting to gain competitive advantage or leverage in licensing negotiations. We maynot be successful in such proceedings, and if we are not, the range of possible outcomes includes everything from a royalty payment to an injunction on the sale of certain of ourchipsets (and on the sale of our customers’ devices using our chipsets) and the imposition of royalty payments that might make purchases of our chipsets less economical for ourcustomers. A negative outcome in any such proceeding could severely disrupt the business of our chipset customers and their wireless operator customers, which in turn

35

Page 37: WebFilings | EDGAR view · Indicate by check mark whether the registrant has submitted electronically and posted on its corporate Web site, if any, every Interactive Data File required

could hurt our relationships with our chipset customers and wireless operators and could result in a decline in our share of worldwide chipset sales and/or a reduction in ourlicensees’ sales to wireless operators, causing a corresponding decline in our chipset and/or licensing revenues.

A number of other companies have claimed to own patents essential to various CDMA standards, GSM standards and OFDMA standards or implementations of OFDM andOFDMA systems. If we or other product manufacturers are required to obtain additional licenses and/or pay royalties to one or more of such other patent holders, this couldhave a material adverse effect on the commercial implementation of our CDMA, GSM, OFDMA or multimode products and technologies, demand for our licensees’ productsand our profitability.

Other companies or entities also have commenced, and may again commence, actions seeking to establish the invalidity of our patents. In the event that one or more of ourpatents are challenged, a court may invalidate the patent(s) or determine that the patent(s) is not enforceable, which could harm our competitive position. If our key patents areinvalidated, or if the scope of the claims in any of these patents is limited by court decision, we could be prevented from licensing the invalidated or limited portion of suchpatents. Such adverse decisions could negatively impact our revenues. Even if such a patent challenge is not successful, it could be expensive and time consuming to address,divert management attention from our business and harm our reputation.

Our earnings and stock price are subject to substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations and to market downturns.

The stock market in general, and the stock prices of technology-based and wireless communications companies in particular, have experienced volatility that often has beenunrelated to the operating performance of any specific public company. The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and is likely to fluctuate in the future aswell. Factors that may have a significant impact on the market price of our stock include, among others:

• announcements concerning us or our competitors, including the selection of wireless communications technology by wireless operators and the timing of the roll-out ofthose systems;

• international developments, such as technology mandates, political developments or changes in economic policies;

• changes in recommendations of securities analysts;

• proprietary rights or product or patent litigation against us or against our customers or licensees;

• strategic transactions, such as spin-offs, acquisitions and divestitures;

• unexpected and/or significant changes in the average selling price of our licensees’ products and our products;

• unresolved disputes with licensees that result in non-payment and/or non-recognition of royalty revenues that may be owed to us; or

• rumors or allegations regarding our financial disclosures or practices.

In the past, securities class action litigation often has been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. Due to changes inthe potential volatility of our stock price, we may be the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial uninsured costs and divertmanagement’s attention and resources.

Any prolonged financial or economic crisis may result in a downturn in demand for our products or technology; the insolvency of key suppliers resulting in product delays;delays in reporting and/or payments from our licensees and/or customers; and counterparty failures negatively impacting our treasury operations.

Financial market volatility has impacted, and could continue to impact, the value and performance of our marketable securities. Net investment income could varydepending on the gains or losses realized on the sale or exchange of securities, impairment charges related to marketable securities and other investments, changes in interestrates and changes in fair values of derivative instruments. Our cash equivalent and marketable securities investments represent significant assets that may be subject tofluctuating or even negative returns depending upon interest rate movements and financial market conditions in fixed income and equity securities.

These factors affecting our future earnings are difficult to forecast and could harm our quarterly and/or annual operating results. If our earnings fail to meet the financialguidance we provide to investors, or the expectations of investment analysts or investors in any period, securities class action litigation could be brought against us and/or themarket price of our common stock could decline.

We depend upon a limited number of third-party suppliers to manufacture and test component parts, subassemblies and finished goods for our products. If these third-partysuppliers do not allocate adequate manufacturing and test capacity in their facilities to produce products on our behalf, or if there are any disruptions in the operations of, or aloss of, any of these third

36

Page 38: WebFilings | EDGAR view · Indicate by check mark whether the registrant has submitted electronically and posted on its corporate Web site, if any, every Interactive Data File required

parties, it could harm our ability to meet our delivery obligations to our customers, reduce our revenues, increase our cost of sales and harm our business.

Our ability to meet customer demand depends, in part, on our ability to obtain timely and adequate delivery of parts and components from our suppliers. A reduction orinterruption in our product supply source, an inability of our suppliers to react to shifts in product demand or an increase in component prices could have a material adverseeffect on our business or profitability. The loss of a significant supplier or the inability of a supplier to meet performance and quality specifications or delivery schedules couldharm our ability to meet our delivery obligations to our customers and negatively impact our revenues and business operations. In the event of a loss of, or a decision to change,a supplier, qualifying a new foundry supplier and commencing volume production or testing could involve delay and expense, resulting in possible loss of customers.

While our goal is to establish alternate suppliers for technologies that we consider critical, we rely on sole- or limited-source suppliers for some products, subjecting us tosignificant risks, including: possible shortages of raw materials or manufacturing capacity; poor product performance; and reduced control over delivery schedules,manufacturing capability and yields, quality assurance, quantity and costs. Our arrangements with our suppliers may oblige us to incur costs to manufacture and test ourproducts that do not decrease at the same rate as decreases in pricing to our customers.

QCT Segment. Although we have entered into long-term contracts with our suppliers, most of these contracts do not provide for long-term capacity commitments, except asmay be provided in a particular purchase order that has been accepted by our supplier. To the extent that we do not have firm commitments from our suppliers over a specifictime period, or for any specific quantity, our suppliers may allocate, and in the past have allocated, capacity to the production and testing of products for their other customerswhile reducing capacity to manufacture or test our products. Accordingly, capacity for our products may not be available when we need it or available at reasonable prices. Wehave experienced capacity limitations from our suppliers, which resulted in supply constraints and our inability to meet certain customer demand. There can be no assurancethat we will not experience these or other supply constraints in the future, which could result in our failure to meet customer demand. In addition, the timely readiness of ourfoundry suppliers to support transitions to smaller geometry process technologies could impact our ability to meet customer demand, revenues and cost expectations. The timingof acceptance of the smaller technology designs by our customers may subject us to the risk of excess inventories of earlier designs.

QMT Division. Our QMT division needs to form and maintain reliable business relationships with component supply partners to support the manufacture of interferometricmodulator (IMOD) displays and/or modules in commercial volumes. All of our current relationships have been for the development and limited production of certain IMODdisplay panels and/or modules. Some or all of these relationships may not succeed or, even if they are successful, may not result in the component supply partners entering intomaterial supply relationships with us.

Our suppliers may also be our competitors, putting us at a disadvantage for pricing and capacity allocation.

One or more of our suppliers may obtain licenses from us to manufacture CDMA-based integrated circuits that compete with our products. In this event, the supplier couldelect to allocate raw materials and manufacturing capacity to their own products and reduce deliveries to us to our detriment. In addition, we may not receive reasonablepricing, manufacturing or delivery terms. We cannot guarantee that the actions of our suppliers will not cause disruptions in our operations that could harm our ability to meetour delivery obligations to our customers or increase our cost of sales.

Currency fluctuations could negatively affect future product sales or royalty revenues, harm our ability to collect receivables or increase the U.S. dollar cost of the activities ofour foreign subsidiaries and international strategic investments.

Our international customers sell their products to markets throughout the world, including China, India, Japan, South Korea, North America, South America and Europe.Consolidated revenues from international customers as a percentage of total revenues were greater than 90% in the first six months of fiscal 2011 and in the last three fiscalyears. We are exposed to risk from fluctuations in currencies that could negatively affect our operating results. Adverse movements in currency exchange rates may negativelyaffect our business due to a number of situations, including the following, among others:

• Our products and those of our customers and licensees that are sold into foreign markets may become less price-competitive as a result of adverse currencyfluctuations;

• Certain of our revenues, such as royalty revenues, are derived from licensee or customer sales that are denominated in foreign currencies. Weakening of currencyvalues versus the U.S. dollar in selected regions could adversely affect our revenues and cash flows;

• We may engage in foreign exchange hedging transactions that could affect our cash flows and earnings because they may require the payment of structuring fees, limitthe U.S. dollar value of royalties from licensees’ sales that are denominated in foreign currencies, cause earnings volatility if the hedges do not qualify for hedgeaccounting and expose us to counterparty risk if the counterparty fails to perform;

• Our loans payable are denominated in Indian rupees. If the U.S. dollar weakens, additional cash will be required to

37

Page 39: WebFilings | EDGAR view · Indicate by check mark whether the registrant has submitted electronically and posted on its corporate Web site, if any, every Interactive Data File required

settle this obligation and the related interest; and

• Currency exchange rate fluctuations may reduce the U.S. dollar value of our marketable securities that are denominated directly or indirectly in foreign currencies.

We may engage in acquisitions or strategic transactions or make investments that could result in significant changes or management disruption and fail to enhance stockholdervalue.

From time to time, we engage in acquisitions or strategic transactions or make investments with the goal of maximizing stockholder value. We acquire businesses and otherassets, including spectrum licenses and other intangible assets, enter into joint ventures or other strategic transactions and purchase equity and debt securities, including minorityinterests in publicly-traded and private companies. Many of our strategic investments are in early-stage companies to support our business, including the global adoption ofCDMA- or OFDMA-based technologies and related services. Most of our acquisitions or strategic investments entail a high degree of risk and will not become liquid until morethan one year from the date of investment, if at all. Our acquisitions or strategic investments (either those we have completed or may undertake in the future) may not generatefinancial returns or result in increased adoption or continued use of our technologies. In some cases, we may be required to consolidate or record our share of the earnings orlosses of companies in which we have acquired ownership interests. Our share of any losses will adversely affect our financial results until we exit from or reduce our exposureto these investments.

Achieving the anticipated benefits of business acquisitions depends in part upon our ability to integrate the acquired businesses in an efficient and effective manner. Theintegration of companies that have previously operated independently may result in significant challenges, and we may be unable to accomplish the integration smoothly orsuccessfully. The difficulties of integrating companies include, among others: retaining key employees; maintaining important relationships of Qualcomm and the acquiredbusiness; minimizing the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business matters; coordinating geographically separate organizations; consolidating research anddevelopment operations; and consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures.

We cannot assure you that the integration of acquired businesses with our business will result in the realization of the full benefits anticipated by us to result from theacquisitions. We may not derive any commercial value from acquired technology, products and intellectual property or from future technologies and products based on theacquired technology and/or intellectual property, and we may be subject to liabilities that are not covered by indemnification protection we may obtain.

Defects or errors in our products and services or in the products of our customers could harm our business. If we experience product liability claims or recalls, we may incursignificant expenses and experience decreased demand for our products.

Our products are inherently complex and may contain defects and errors that are detected only when the products are in use. For example, as our chipset productcomplexities increase, we are required to migrate to integrated circuit technologies with smaller geometric feature sizes. The design process interface issues are more complex aswe enter into these new domains of technology, which adds risk to yields and reliability. Because our products and services are responsible for critical functions in ourcustomers’ products and/or networks, such defects or errors could have an adverse impact on our customers, which could damage our reputation, harm our customerrelationships and expose us to liability. Defects or impurities in our components, materials or software or those used by our customers or licensees, equipment failures or otherdifficulties could adversely affect our ability, and that of our customers and licensees, to ship products on a timely basis, customer or licensee demand for our products or thecommitment of financial and/or engineering resources that could reduce operating margins and affect future product release schedules. Additionally, a defect or failure,including those related to security vulnerabilities, in our products or the products of our customers or licensees could lead to liability claims, harm our reputation and/oradversely affect the growth of 3G and 3G/4G multimode wireless markets.

Manufacturing, testing, marketing and use of our products and those of our licensees and customers entail the risk of product liability. The use of wireless devicescontaining our products to access untrusted content creates a risk of exposing the system software in those devices to viral or malicious attacks. We continue to expand ourfocus on this issue and take measures to safeguard the software from this threat. However, this issue carries the risk of general product liability claims along with the associatedimpacts on reputation and demand. In addition, a product liability claim or recall, whether against our licensees, customers or us, could harm our reputation and result indecreased demand for our products.

Our Firethorn business does not currently generate operating income and may not succeed or its operating results may not meet our expectations.

While we continue to believe that our Firethorn division's mCommerce products will offer competing advantages to consumers and merchants, there can be no assurancethat our mCommerce efforts will be successful. If our Firethorn business does not succeed, our investment in its technology may not provide us an adequate return, and ourbusiness could be harmed. Consumer acceptance of our Firethorn service offerings will continue to be affected by competition, technology-based differences and by theoperational performance, quality and reliability of our services platforms. After $120 million in

38

Page 40: WebFilings | EDGAR view · Indicate by check mark whether the registrant has submitted electronically and posted on its corporate Web site, if any, every Interactive Data File required

impairment charges recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, our Firethorn business had $65 million in assets (including $40 million in goodwill) at March 27, 2011. Ifwe do not expect to achieve adequate market penetration with our mobile commerce products, our remaining assets may become impaired, which could negatively affect ouroperating results.

Our QMT division’s business does not currently generate operating income and may not succeed or its operating results may not meet our expectations.

While we continue to believe our QMT division’s IMOD displays will offer compelling advantages to users of displays, there can be no assurance that our IMOD productdevelopment efforts will be successful, that we will be able to cost-effectively manufacture these new products, that we will be able to successfully market these products or thatother technologies will not continue to improve in ways that reduce the advantages we anticipate from our IMOD displays. Sales of flat panel displays are currently dominated,and we believe will likely continue to be dominated for some time, by displays based on liquid crystal display (LCD) technology. Numerous companies are making substantialinvestments in, and conducting research to improve characteristics of, LCDs. Additionally, several other flat panel display technologies have been, or are being, developed,including technologies for the production of organic light-emitting diode (OLED), field emission, inorganic electroluminescence, gas plasma and vacuum fluorescent displays.In each case, advances in LCD or other flat panel display technologies could result in technologies that are more cost effective, have fewer display limitations or can be broughtto market faster than our IMOD technology. These advances in competing technologies might cause device manufacturers to avoid entering into commercial relationships withus or to not renew planned or existing relationships with us. Our QMT division had $437 million in assets (including $130 million in goodwill) at March 27, 2011. If we do notexpect to achieve adequate market penetration with our IMOD display technology, our assets may become impaired, which could negatively impact our operating results.

Potential tax liabilities could adversely affect our results.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes.Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could materially differ from amounts reflected inhistorical income tax provisions and accruals. In such case, our income tax provision and net income in the period or periods in which that determination is made could benegatively affected. In addition, tax rules may change that may adversely affect our future reported financial results or the way we conduct our business. For example, weconsider the operating earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside the United States based on estimates that future domestic cashgeneration will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs. No provision has been made for United States federal and state or foreign taxes that may result from futureremittances of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Our future financial results and liquidity may be adversely affected if accounting rules regarding unrepatriatedearnings change, if domestic cash needs require us to repatriate foreign earnings, or if the United States international tax rules change as part of comprehensive tax reform orother tax legislation.

If wireless devices pose safety risks, we may be subject to new regulations, and demand for our products and those of our licensees and customers may decrease.

Concerns over the effects of radio frequency emissions may have the effect of discouraging the use of wireless devices, which may decrease demand for our products andthose of our licensees and customers. Interest groups have requested that the FCC investigate claims that wireless communications technologies pose health concerns and causeinterference with airbags, hearing aids and medical devices. Concerns have also been expressed over the possibility of safety risks due to a lack of attention associated with theuse of wireless devices while driving. Any legislation that may be adopted in response to these concerns could reduce demand for our products and those of our licensees andcustomers in the United States as well as foreign countries.

Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures or security breaches.

Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a Disaster Recovery Plan for our internal information technology networkingsystems, our systems are vulnerable to damages from computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts and telecommunication failures, among other factors. As hasbeen widely reported, attempts by others to gain unauthorized access to information technology systems are becoming more sophisticated and are sometimes successful. Thetheft or publication of our confidential business information could harm our competitive position, reduce the value of our strategic initiatives or otherwise adversely affect ourbusiness. Any system failure, accident or security breach that causes interruptions in our operations, or in our vendors’, customers’ or licensees’ operations, could result in amaterial disruption to our business. To the extent that any disruption or security breach results in a loss or damage to our customers’ data or applications, or inappropriatedisclosure of their confidential information, we may incur liability as a result. In addition, we expect to devote additional resources to the security of our information technologysystems, and we may incur additional costs to remedy any damages caused by disruptions or security breaches.

From time to time, we install new or upgraded business management systems. To the extent such systems fail or are not

39

Page 41: WebFilings | EDGAR view · Indicate by check mark whether the registrant has submitted electronically and posted on its corporate Web site, if any, every Interactive Data File required

properly implemented, we may experience material disruptions to our business, delays in our external financial reporting or failures in our system of internal controls, that couldhave a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are subject to government regulation pertaining to environmental and safety laws, to our industry, products and services, to corporate governance and public disclosureand to health care.

National, state and local environmental laws and regulations affect our operations around the world. These laws may make it more expensive to manufacture, havemanufactured and sell products. It may also be difficult to comply with laws and regulations in a timely manner, and we may not have compliant products available in thequantities requested by our customers, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. There is also the potential for higher costs driven by climate changeregulations. Our costs could increase if our vendors (e.g., third-party manufacturers or utility companies) pass on their costs to us.

As part of the development and commercialization of our IMOD display technology, we are operating both a development and a production fabrication facility. Thedevelopment and commercialization of IMOD display prototypes is a complex and precise process involving restricted materials subject to environmental and safetyregulations. Our failure or inability to comply with existing or future environmental and safety regulations could result in significant remediation liabilities, the imposition offines and/or the suspension or termination of development and production activities.

Our products and services, and those of our customers and licensees, are subject to various regulations, including FCC regulations in the United States and otherinternational regulations, as well as the specifications of national, regional and international standards bodies. The adoption of new laws or regulations, changes in the regulationof our activities, or exclusion or limitation of our technology or products by a government or standards body, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including,among other factors, changes in laws, policies, practices or enforcement affecting trade, foreign investments, licensing practices, spectrum license issuance, adoption ofstandards, the provision of wireless device subsidies by wireless operators to their customers, taxation, environmental protection, loans and employment.

We hold licenses to use spectrum in the United States and the United Kingdom, and we expect that licenses to use the BWA spectrum won in the auction in India will beassigned to us in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. All of these licenses are subject to a variety of ongoing regulatory proceedings in these respective countries. Additionally,certain of our licenses in the United States are subject to minimum build-out requirements to be met at various dates beginning in June 2013. On December 20, 2010, weannounced that we have agreed to sell substantially all of our licenses in the United States, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by theFCC and clearance from the U.S. Department of Justice. If we do not receive approval to sell these licenses pursuant to this agreement, there is no assurance that we would beable to obtain a comparable price from another party or that we would be able to meet the applicable build-out requirements for those licenses. The BWA spectrum licenses willbe subject to minimum build-out requirements to be met within five years of the effective date of the license. If we do not meet these requirements, the relevant governmentauthorities could impose a fine or could rescind the license in the area(s) in which the build-out requirements are not met. Changes in the allocation of available spectrum by thecountries in which we hold licenses could have a material adverse risk on our business and the value of our assets.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance, public disclosure and health care may create uncertainty regarding compliance matters. New orchanged laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases. As a result, their application in practice may evolve over time. We are committed tomaintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure and complying with laws and regulations. Evolving interpretations of new or changed legalrequirements may cause us to incur higher costs as we revise current practices, policies, procedures, and/or health plans and may divert management time and attention tocompliance activities. Our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards may fail, particularly if there is ambiguity as to how such new or changedlaws, regulations and standards should be applied in practice. Further, our board members, chief executive officer and chief financial officer could face an increased risk ofpersonal liability in connection with the performance of their duties. As a result, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified board members and executive officers,which could harm our business.

We may not be able to attract and retain qualified employees.

Our future success depends largely upon the continued service of our board members, executive officers and other key management and technical personnel. Our successalso depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. In addition, implementing our product and business strategy requires specializedengineering and other talent, and our revenues are highly dependent on technological and product innovations. The market for such specialized engineering and other talentedemployees in our industry is extremely competitive. In addition, existing immigration laws make it more difficult for us to recruit and retain highly skilled foreign nationalgraduates of U.S. universities, making the pool of available talent even smaller. Key employees represent a significant asset, and the competition for these employees is intensein the wireless communications industry. We do not have employment agreements with our key management personnel. In the event of a labor shortage, or in the event of anunfavorable change in prevailing labor and/or immigration laws, we could

experience difficulty attracting and retaining qualified employees. We continue to anticipate increases in human resource needs, particularly in engineering. If we are unable toattract and retain the qualified employees that we need, our business may be harmed.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Financial market risks related to interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices are described in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. At March 27,2011, there have been no other material changes to the market risks described at September 26, 2010 except as described below. Additionally, we do not anticipate any othernear-term changes in the nature of our market risk exposures or in management’s objectives and strategies with respect to managing such exposures.

Interest Rate Risk. The following table provides information about our interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and loans payable that are sensitiveto changes in interest rates. The table presents principal cash flows, weighted-average yield at cost and contractual maturity dates. Additionally, we have assumed that theinterest-bearing securities are similar enough within the specified categories to aggregate the securities for presentation purposes.

Cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. The loans payable approximate fair value.

Foreign Exchange Risk. We manage our exposure to foreign exchange market risks, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments,including foreign currency forward and option contracts with financial counterparties. At March 27, 2011, we had a liability of $2 million related to a foreign currency forwardcontract that was designated as a net investment hedge of our investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia. We are subject to market risk on such contract. If theexchange rates relevant to that contract were to change unfavorably by 20%, we would incur a loss of $39 million.

At March 27, 2011, we had variable-rate long-term loans in the aggregate of $1.1 billion, which are payable in full in Indian rupees in December 2012. The loans are payablein the functional currency of our consolidated subsidiaries that are party to the

41

loans; however, we are subject to foreign currency translation risk, which may impact our liability for principal repayment and interest expense that we will record in the future.If the foreign currency exchange rate were to change unfavorably by 20%, we would incur additional principal and interest expense of $208 million and $42 million,respectively, through the remainder of the contractual terms of the loans.

Our analysis methods used to assess and mitigate the risks discussed above should not be considered projections of future risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer andprincipal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls andprocedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2011that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

A review of our current litigation is disclosed in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements. See “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies.” We are also engaged in other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business and believe that the ultimate outcome ofthese actions will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We have provided updated Risk Factors in the section labeled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperations. To reflect the anticipated sale of certain 700 MHz spectrum related to our decision to shut down the FLO TV business and network, we revised the risk factorentitled:

• “We are subject to government regulation pertaining to environmental and safety laws, to our industry, products and services, to corporate governance and publicdisclosure and to health care.”

Other than with respect to that revision, we do not believe the updates to the Risk Factors have materially changed the type or magnitude of the risks we face in comparisonto the disclosure provided in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On March 1, 2010, we announced that we had been authorized to repurchase up to $3.0 billion of our common stock with no expiration date. At March 27, 2011,approximately $1.7 billion remained authorized for repurchase. While we did not repurchase any of our common stock during the first six months of fiscal 2011, we continue toevaluate repurchases under this program subject to capital availability and periodic determinations that such repurchases are in the best interest of our stockholders.

SECTION 14 Change in Control.

14.1 Definitions. (a) An “Ownership Change Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the direct or indirect sale orexchange in a single or series of related transactions by the stockholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger orconsolidation in which the Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, of the assets of theCompany; or (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. (b) A “Change in Control” shall mean an Ownership Change Event or a series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, a “Transaction”) wherein thestockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership ofshares of the Company's voting stock immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined votingpower of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or, in the case of a Transaction described in Section 14.1(a)(iii), the corporation or other business entity to which theassets of the Company were transferred (the “Transferee”), as the case may be. The Board shall determine in its sole discretion whether multiple sales or exchanges of the votingsecurities of the Company or multiple Ownership Change Events are related. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Change in Control shall not include any Transaction inwhich the voting stock of an entity in the Participating Company Group is distributed to the stockholders of a parent corporation, as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code, ofsuch entity. Any Ownership Change Event resulting from an underwritten public offering of the Company's Stock or the stock of any Participating Company shall not bedeemed a Change in Control for any purpose hereunder. 14.2 Effect of Change in Control on Purchase Rights. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or parentcorporation thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiring Corporation”), may assume the Company's rights and obligations under the Plan. If the Acquiring Corporation elects notto assume the Company's rights and obligations under outstanding Purchase Rights, the Purchase Date of the then current Offering Period shall be accelerated to a date beforethe date of the Change in Control specified by the Board, but the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Purchase Rights shall not be adjusted, provided, however,that the Purchase Date with respect to Purchase Rights granted pursuant to a Non-423(b) Plan shall be accelerated as contemplated by the foregoing sentence only to the extentthe event constituting the Change in Control qualifies as a “change in ownership” or “change in effective control” of the Company or a “change in ownership of a substantialportion of the assets” of the Company, as these concepts are defined in U.S. Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(5) or successor provisions. All Purchase Rights which are neitherassumed by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be

outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in Control.

SECTION 15 Nontransferability of Purchase Rights.

Neither payroll deductions nor a Participant's Purchase Right may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any manner other than as provided by thePlan or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Companymay treat such act as an election to withdraw from the Plan as provided in Section 12.1. A Purchase Right shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by theParticipant.

SECTION 16 Compliance with Securities Law and Other Applicable Requirements.

The issuance of shares under the Plan shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities.

In addition, no Purchase Right may be exercisedunless (a) a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall at the time of exercise of the Purchase Right be in effect with respect to the sharesissuable upon exercise of the Purchase Right, or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Right may be issued inaccordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of said Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body havingjurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares under the Plan shall relieve the Companyof any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. Anything in the foregoing to the contrarynotwithstanding, Purchase Rights granted under a Non-423(b) Plan may be suspended, delayed or otherwise deferred for any of the reasons contemplated in this Section 16 onlyto the extent such suspension, delay or deferral is permitted under U.S. Treas. Reg. §§ 1.409A-2(b)(7), 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii) or successor provisions, or as otherwise permittedunder Section 409A of the Code. As a condition to the exercise of a Purchase Right, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessaryor appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation, and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by theCompany.

SECTION 17 Rules for Foreign Jurisdictions.

17.1 Compliance with Foreign Law. The Board or Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate thespecific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board or Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules andprocedures regarding handling of payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificateswhich vary with local requirements. 17.2 Non-423(b) Plan Component. The Board or Committee may also adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular Participating Companies or locations,which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Code Section 423. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with theexception of Section 4.1, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan. To the extentinconsistent with the requirements of Section 423, such sub-plan shall be considered part of the Non-423(b) Plan, and rights granted thereunder shall not be considered tocomply with Code Section 423.

SECTION 18 Rights as a Stockholder and Employee.

A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder by virtue of the Participant's participation in the Plan until the date of the issuance of shares purchased pursuant to theexercise of the Participant's Purchase Right (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). Noadjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such share is issued, except as provided in Section 4.2. Nothingherein shall confer upon a Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Participating Company Group or interfere in any way with any right of the ParticipatingCompany Group to terminate the Participant's employment at any time.

In addition, an amendment to the Plan must be approved by the stockholders of the Company withintwelve (12) months of the adoption of such amendment if such amendment would increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under thePlan (except by operation of the provisions of Section 4.1 or Section 4.2) or would change the definition of the corporations that may be designated by the Board asParticipating Companies.

SECTION 22 Code Section 409A.

The Non-423(b) Plan is intended to comply and shall be administered in a manner that isintended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent a Purchase Right or the vesting,payment, settlement or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Purchase Right shall be granted, paid, exercised, settled or deferred in a manner that willcomply with Section 409A of the Code, including the final regulations and other guidance issued with respect thereto, except as otherwise determined by the Committee.
